I have a camera that orbits my game object looking at the object from either north, south, east, west. I can’t seem seem to keep the controlls consistant once the camera rotates the controlls are inverted, help

my scripts

my input script

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class InputManager : MonoBehaviour
{


    CameraControll cam;

    void Start()
    {
        cam = GetComponent<CameraControll>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftArrow))
        {
            cam.MoveHorizontal(true);
        }
        else if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.RightArrow))
        {
            cam.MoveHorizontal(false);
        }
        else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.UpArrow))
        {
            cam.MoveVertical(true);
        }
        else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.UpArrow))
        {
            cam.MoveVertical(false);
        }
    }
}

my camera movement script

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class CameraControll : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform target;

    public float horizMove = 45f;
    public float VertMode = 15f;

    public void MoveHorizontal(bool left)
    {
        float dir = 1;
        if (!left)
            dir *= -1;
        transform.RotateAround(target.position, Vector3.up, horizMove * dir);
    }

    public void MoveVertical(bool right)
    {
        float dir = 1;
        if (!right)
            dir *= -1;
        transform.RotateAround(target.position, transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.right), VertMode * dir);
    }
}

my player movement script

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{

    public float speed;

    private Rigidbody rb;

    void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float moveVertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

        Vector3 movement = new Vector3(moveHorizontal, 0.0f, moveVertical);

        rb.AddForce(movement * speed);
    }
}

How do I keep my player movement consistant relative to the camera’s position

Try adding this in your PlayerMovement Script :

public Transform relativeTo = null;

/** no changes **/

movement = relativeTo.TransformDirection(movement)

//Uncomment this only if your always want an horizontal force
// movement = Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(movement, Vector3.up);

rb.AddForce(movement * speed);

The variable RelativeTo must be assigned to your camera.
